New Feature: Support for Reddit image uploads

Starting today, Later for Reddit can upload your images to Reddit's own image hosting! Just select "Reddit" as your image upload option, upload your image, and watch in amazement as the image is magically uploaded to i.redd.it.

Also, you can now flag Content items as NSFW, which is kinda nice.

Details

When you schedule an image to be posted to Reddit's image hosting, it is first uploaded to i.l4r.io for safekeeping. This is the same as the existing L4R image hosting, and is managed via the "Uploaded Media" tab in the same way.

The difference is, when the post is submitted, Later will upload the image to Reddit's image hosting and use that URL as the post's image link. This is necessary because of the way Reddit's image hosting works in concert with post submission.

Once the image has been posted using Reddit's image hosting, you can no longer manage the image from the Uploaded Media tab, so don't think your image is deleted there because it's deleted here! You'll want to go delete your post on Reddit if you need an image to go away.
